[PATCH v2 0/5] Check Rust signatures at compile time

[Alice Ryhl <aliceryhl@google.com>]

Rust has two different tools for generating function declarations to
call across the FFI boundary:

* bindgen. Generates Rust declarations from a C header.
* cbindgen. Generates C headers from Rust declarations.

In the kernel, we only use bindgen. This is because cbindgen assumes a
cargo-based buildsystem, so it is not compatible with the kernel's build
system. This means that when C code calls a Rust function by name, its
signature must be duplicated in both Rust code and a C header, and the
signature needs to be kept in sync manually.

To eliminate this manual checking, introduce a new macro that verifies
at compile time that the two function declarations use the same
signature. The idea is to run the C declaration through bindgen, and
then have rustc verify that the function pointers have the same type.

The main commit of this series is "rust: add #[export] macro". Please
see its commit message for more details.
